Court orders airlifting of Bunyoro king for specialised treatment

Hoima High Court has ordered that Bunyoro King (Omukama) Solomon Gafabusa Iguru I should be taken for specialized treatment in India or any other hospital in the world with the ‘best facilities.’

Hoima High Court Judge Jesse Byaruhanga’s ruling followed an application from 10 years ago by Prince Apolo Kisoro, the former Bunyoro Kingdom tourism minister and personal assistant to the monarch.

In his application, Kisoro highlighted that the king was ill, noting that he had secured appointments for the monarch with different hospitals in New Delhi.

Kisoro also outlined that he had mobilized enough financial resources to take care of the king’s treatment, travel and attendants abroad- thus the omukama wouldn’t be stuck anywhere.

The applicant was represented by lawyers Jotham Mugarura and Elias Tumwebaze, who submitted that the omukama has been sickly or ill and weak for a considerable time.
